Bangladesh has the highest rate of child marriage of girls under the age of 15 in the world, with 29 percent of girls in Bangladesh married before age 15, according to a UNICEF study. Two percent of girls in Bangladesh are married before age 11. Successive inaction by the central government and complicity by local officials allows child marriage, including of very young girls, to continue unchecked, while Bangladesh’s high vulnerability to natural disasters puts more girls at risk as their families are pushed into the poverty that helps drive decisions to have girls married.

It is easy to say "Don't have children if you cannot afford them." When you're 11 and married, I don't think you have a choice not to have sex with your husband who may be much older. To have or not to have children there is not a matter of choice but a matter of time.
STOP building your house on the riverbanks. You'd think the man would realise after the second house washed away!
Why bother having kids if you can't afford them. This really broke my heart.
I would better starve then make my child marry at 11
Those wedding Busters are the best of souls...
I can't even imagine what it would be like to be so poor, that you had to give your children away or marry them off because you couldn't feed them. I feel so bad for these families and I wish something more could be done to help them.
Instead of building 5 houses he should have built a houseboat
A girl is a human being and has a right to life,education and to enjoy....The parents are noone to deny them rights and surprisingly the government is failure in taking legal action to that... I respect girls and their feelings and I suggest everyone should do that.... A home without daughters is just like a river without a spring
😢😢😢😢😢poor girls being forced to marry old men......so sad
Ok the one girl who said her brothers gave money to someone to change her age to 18. Didn't they just say earlier that the reason they married her off was because her parents didn't have a lot of money. So they don't have the money for her to go to feed her but they have enough money to pay someone to change her age on a certificate so she can be married off? Wouldn't that be more expensive honestly? What sense does that make?
If the parents stop having so many children they wouldn't have to sell the children 😢😢😮😢
The beauty of youth, the unbridled lust of men, the love of money, and they call it CULTURE! PEDOPHILIC SOCIETY is a better description this thing!! My heart cries for these little girls...
If the girls didn’t marry young, they wouldn’t be having so many children. This is a vicious cycle and the situation is horrid for these children
8:06 ooh she's really pretty!
It’s so true my grandparents had my mother at 16 while my grandfather was way older then her it’s truly disgusting.. it annoys me how they don’t even teach these kids about sex education and they leave it to the day of there marriage laws should really come into place
Parents should be educated too. How could they let their children suffer? Tsssk!
Little girls getting married doesn’t solve their poverty, because the 14 year old girl had a baby an she had to borrow money for medicine 🤦♀️ what was the whole point of getting married
These girls parents need to be educated about the long term damage that child marriage can cause so that their eyes can be opened to what child marriage does to young girls and what the long term consqquences are
I'm so glad I don't live there! I feel so bad for those girls
